OUR FAMILY'S FIGHT TO GET THE A.C.L.U. OF OKLAHOMA TO TAKE ON JOSHUA'S CASE
Our family has reached out to the A.C.L.U. (American Civil Liberties Union) office of Oklahoma to take on Joshua’s case for years. The A.C.L.U. of Oklahoma finally accepted a conference call with my mother and I. The A.C.L.U. informed us they believe that my brother was innocent, but did not have the necessary resources to take on the case. However, I had to contact the Illinois office of A.C.LU. via email and the President of the branch forward our request to the Oklahoma office then the Oklahoma office finally set up a meeting with us. What a shame! We had to go out of our own state to get someone to help us. This is common a reality I have found if you are not famous, well connected, or rich the system will let you rot and die "WRONGLY CONVICTED OF A CRIME!"
Joshua wrote many letters to the A.C.L.U. office of Oklahoma and has never received a reply back. He is determine towards never giving up on his freedom. He wrote almost every A.C.L.U. branch office throughout the U.S and you can imagine the amount of stamps that he went through. He received a reply back from the New Jersey A.C.L.U. office branch that informed him on how they had won a similar case like his, but they informed him to contact the Oklahoma office. Yes, contact the same A.C.L.U. office of Oklahoma who chose not to write him back and who would not set up a call with us for years. MY CALL OF ACTION is for everyone to either email or call the A.C.L.U. Office of Oklahoma or the Headquarters of the A.C.L.U. to take on the case.
My personal belief, Joshua could have been home years ago if the A.C.L.U. office of Oklahoma or other organizations would have care to enough to take on his case, but that's too much like being right. Justice is way overdue! HELP US GET JUSTICE FOR JOSHUA # A VOICE OF THE VOICELESS

State V. Skinner- Westlaw Next “We affirm. We hold that the violent, profane, and disturbing rap lyrics authored by defendant constituted highly prejudiced evidence against him that bore little or no probative value as to any motive or intent behind the attempted murder offense with which he was charge. The admission of defendant’s inflammatory rap verses, a genre that certain members of society view as art and others view as distasteful and descriptive of a mean- spirit culture, risked poising the jury against defendant. Fictional forms of inflammatory self- expression, such as poems musical***239 compositions, and other like writings about bad acts, wrongful acts, or crimes, are not properly evidential unless the writing reveals a strong nexus between the specific details of the artistic composition and the circumstances of the underlying offense for which a person is charged, and the probative of that evidence outweighs its apparent prejudicial impact. In the weighing process, trial courts should consider the existence of other evidence that can be used to make the same point. When admissible, such evidence should be carefully redacted to ensure that irrelevant and inflammatory content is not needlessly presented to the jury.”
Holding The Supreme Court, Laveechia, J., held that State’s introduction of violent , profane and disturbing rap lyrics that defendant had written was unduly prejudicial.
